UK climate technology firm Organicco has secured a £250,000 investment from The FSE Group to accelerate commercial deployment of its modular waste conversion systems. The funding will support manufacturing scale-up, team expansion, and delivery of the company’s first contracted projects, positioning Organicco to move from product development into broader market execution. The investment follows a pitch event hosted by Reading Tech Cluster, where the company connected with its new backer through the Thames Valley Berkshire Funding Escalator. Can a relatively modest capital infusion unlock scalable zero-waste infrastructure across industrial and municipal sectors?

From Waste Disposal to Revenue Generation

Founded in 2018 by Jonathan Ure and Gopal Jeyasundra, Slough-based Organicco has developed a suite of proprietary modular systems designed to convert industrial and organic waste streams into commercially valuable outputs. These include biofertiliser, sustainable aviation fuel, hydrogen, food-grade CO₂, energy, and carbon credits. Rather than relying on centralized processing hubs, Organicco’s systems are engineered for on-site deployment, allowing customers to reduce disposal costs while generating new revenue streams from materials that would otherwise be treated as liabilities.

Its product portfolio includes ecoHERO, ecoDRYER, ecoMAN, and ecoENERGY platforms, each tailored to different waste profiles and operational needs. The modular architecture allows flexibility across sectors ranging from industrial waste generators and agritech operators to municipalities, airports, hotels, and corporates pursuing ESG-aligned waste strategies. As regulatory pressure tightens around landfill use and Scope 3 emissions, decentralized waste valorisation models are increasingly seen as a pragmatic pathway toward circular economy objectives.

Commercial Inflection Point

According to co-founder Gopal Jeyasundra, the company is now transitioning from intensive development into full commercial deployment. The new funding will enable Organicco to fulfil existing contracts, including delivery of its ecoDRYER technology, while strengthening its supply chain and manufacturing capabilities. In capital-intensive climate tech sectors, early-stage companies often struggle to bridge the gap between pilot validation and scaled production. This investment is designed to address that gap.

The FSE Group’s involvement reflects growing regional appetite for climate-focused engineering solutions that combine environmental impact with viable business models. Investment manager Rob Hillary described Organicco as operating at the intersection of climatetech, engineering, and the circular economy, highlighting both market potential and technical credibility as drivers behind the decision.

Regional Ecosystem Support and Climate Capital Formation

The deal also underscores the role of local innovation ecosystems in climate capital formation. Reading Tech Cluster, which hosted the pitch event that introduced Organicco to FSE, continues to position itself as a connector between founders, investors, and regional stakeholders. The successful investment illustrates how curated networks and targeted events can accelerate capital access for early-stage climate ventures.

For the Thames Valley region, the transaction reinforces ambitions to build a pipeline of impact-driven businesses that align environmental performance with economic growth. As governments across the UK intensify focus on decarbonisation, waste reduction, and sustainable aviation fuel development, companies capable of delivering modular, deployable infrastructure may attract increasing institutional attention.

Scaling Toward a Zero-Waste Model

While £250,000 is not transformational capital at an infrastructure scale, its timing is significant. Organicco now faces the operational challenge of executing initial contracts while proving reliability, cost efficiency, and environmental performance in real-world conditions. Successful delivery could unlock larger rounds of funding and strategic partnerships in sectors under mounting sustainability pressure.

The broader opportunity lies in the structural shift away from linear waste management toward resource recovery and circular value creation. If Organicco’s modular systems demonstrate scalable economics and measurable emissions reductions, the company could position itself within a growing global market for decentralized waste-to-value infrastructure.

As climate policy tightens and industries search for operational decarbonisation tools, companies converting waste streams into energy, fuel, and tradable environmental assets may increasingly move from niche innovators to mainstream infrastructure providers.
